  • Full payment is required within 48 hours of making the booking to secure all reservations – either by credit card or bank transfer. If by credit card, you can make payment via a secure online link.

Should payment intervals for long stays not be made as arranged, you will be requested to vacate the apartment, and we reserve the right to deny access to the apartment (changing of locks) until full payment of overdue amount is received.
  • Please take note that due to the additional bank charges that CTHA & Advertentia Real Estate will incur in the event of cash deposits and fees incurred in the event of international bank transfers, the client accepts responsibility for the payment of all such additional fees.
